The message of the film is classic good vs. evil, with overtones of the Cold War (despite it’s pre-WWII setting) and strong patriotic flavor. You truly feel as if you’re back in the 1940s, fearing a German invasion. And, just as they did back then, heroes who were willing to sacrifice everything saved the lives of millions. The film thus serves as a testament to bravery, honor and devotion – and to Christian love. All’s certainly well that ends well.
Younger children will be frightened by the warlike violence, but adolescents will enjoy it tremendously. And adults – especially the older generation – will feel like they’ve stepped back in time. In this case, that’s a very good thing.
